Partner
There are a number of useful strategies to help a partner with labyrinthitis:

- Don't smoke - cigarette smoke, even it is is from a second-hand source is very detrimental for people who have labyrinthitis, so if you smoke cigarettes, then do not do so around your partner
- Healthy diet - it is really important to have a healthy diet during a flare-up of labyrinthitis symptoms, as natural, unprocessed foods give the body and immune system the best chance of fighting off any infection or other cause of the labyrinthitis and heal. Especially beneficial are the dark green leafy vegetables, darker purple vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and legumes
